Let me tell you, Phillip was an awesome guide. He was very patient with me -- a 61-year-old woman learning to ride a Segway. It was easy, y'all! If I can do it -- anybody can! He was so knowledgeable about Barcelona and I really enjoyed getting to know him. I have to say this was one of the most enjoyable things I did in Barcelona, so this is a can't miss for you.
Alex was our guide today. He did a wonderful job. He was knowledgeable, experienced and friendly. He even helped us get out of the city through the Metro train because the Taxis were on strike. Their segways are in different cities of Europe and we look forward to using them again. We highly recommend this tour and this vendor.

Outstanding experience. 1st time on a Segway and it was so easy. Great way to see a lot in a short time. Our guide Pablo was very knowledgeable and engaging.
Great tour with good history and fun facts, but the best part was how much Segway you get to ride! You go all over the city and really cover some ground.
Great way to cover a lot of area. The guide was very informative and customized our tour based on our likes.
The funnest and best way to experience Barcelona. Despite us having 0 experience with Segways, we were trained and carefully led through busy Barcelona and it was the highlight of our trip! Thank you Phillip!
